SHE SPREAD SORROW

Rumspringa

Cold Spring releases the debut Rumspringa by the Italian project She Spread Sorrow, an album that is described in the press release as a journey of distorted faith, suppressed desires, guilt, punishment, discipline and perversion, and which is compared to the work of Pharmakon, Puce Mary and Sewer Goddess. Behind She Spread Sorrow hides the Italian artist Alice Kundalini, member of Deviated Sister TV, a troupe specialized in power electronics and death industrial projects. The album contains six compositions in which distorted drones and voices are combined into soundscapes for an apocalyptic world.

In Spring of Regret we hear buzzing, roaring and whistling drones, crossed with short reverberating vocals and the noise-like sound of falling metal water drops. In the distance, the sound of exploding bombs, over flying war machines and the fearsome blows of prehistoric monsters. Sounds dangerously and noisy, but it all stays within acceptable limits and never becomes cacophonous. The similar Herself Denial floats on the sound of roaring engines, with whispering voices on top, synths like shooting stars and whistling noise, monotonous and menacing, the soundtrack for a nightmare and nasty hallucinations, with a Hail Mary as a bonus. Red Rumspringa is again a dark industrial track with growling and rumbling drones, whispered voices, snatches of humming electro, noise and noise: expectantly and grim as the mock fight before the big confrontation.

Inertia Malaise gets snatches of metallic percussion, monotonous and dark drones for the base track,
humming drones on top and whispering voices in between: dangerous and yet dreamy and mysterious, while Chastity sounds more emphatic, thanks to the vocal interventions, but with similar distorted drones and noise for auditory support. Finally, Seven Daughters begins with the distant sound of the alarm system of a nuclear power plant, nervous noise, reverberating drones in the background and voices, with fast electro sequences for the final, again followed by whispering voices and emphatic drone punches.

The soundscapes of She Spread Sorrow are dark and sinister as the soundtrack for a dehumanized future.
